Global Microsoft Outage

As of late Thursday evening, a widespread Microsoft outage continues to affect Outlook and other Microsoft services on campus and across the nation. Earlier this evening, Microsoft revised its list of features and services impacted by this outage, stating that it is affecting ones that interact with email services. Microsoft Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Copilot AI, and 365 are all continuing to have various issues. Microsoft has not provided a specific estimate for when the global outage will be completely resolved, though a portion of affected servers and services have begun a gradual recovery. The next update will be posted on Friday morning.
